in the white house, are you going to dredge all that up? >> i certainly would like to keep that out, if possible. you just don't know what's going to happen but i would like to be able to keep that out if possible. >> reporter: hillary clinton not backing down saying yesterday you know, we are not in a dictatorship. you are not in an authoritarian regime talking about donald trump in the white house. he put out a tweet calling on kasich and ted cruz to drop out of the race because they cannot clinch the nomination outright. >> let's bring in matthew dowd for more on this right now. matthew, i don't think cruz and kasich will drop out of the race right now. you saw ted cruz down at that rnc meeting. donald trump complaining about the rules being rigged and there could be some changes coming. >> yeah, there definitely could be some changes in the course of this and i think the rnc will probably put -- make some recommendations but not do anything seriously definitive and allow the delegates at the rnc at the convention in cleveland to make the decisions.

donald trump, i think, i was listening to it. he better be careful. he's mentioned babe ruth. he better be careful he doesn't become ty cobb where his teammates hate him. and he starts attacking the fans in the stadium. that's the thing he has to be careful of. >> at the same time he has a real shot of getting the 1,237 before the convention. >> we talked about new york, george. and i thought there was about an 80% chance we went to a contested convention but his big win i thought he would get in the 40s two weeks ago in new york. he got into the 60s. it's 50/50. the odds of a contested convention while still possible have dropped to 50/50 in the course of this. >> bernie saers vowing to stay in the democratic race even though he fell behind in new york. we have secretary clinton coming up in the next hour. how should she play that? >> i think this is the problem when you have war rooms and make all these attacks, it's hard to shift to a time of peace. i think hillary clinton should sit her campaign down and say we

would rather be happy than right and stop all the attacks, don't engage in this. let him have his time and then basically work towards unity in the course of this so choose happiness over being right in the course of the attack. >> we will talk to secretary clinton in our next hour live. she'll answer your questions in our coffee with the candidates town hall. thank you, matt. there they are. >> we see them gathering upstairs. to the latest on the flint water crisis, three government employees facing criminal charges and the state's attorney general saying more are on the way. abc's alex perez is in flint, michigan, with the new fallout. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. officials say those three employees tampered with test results allowing water from the flint river here to poison this community. this morning, fallout in flint. >> enter a plea of not guilty. >> reporter: the attorney general filing charges against several officials allegedly involved in the water crisis that plagued the city for nearly 18 months.

be at safe levels, something his lawyer says he denies. the state's attorney general insisting that this isn't the end and that there is more fallout to come. you sort of sidestepped -- >> i don't sidestep anything. >> is the governor ultimately responsible and will he face charges? >> there's no target and no one is off the table. >> reporter: the attorney general would not get into specifics but says he expects others to be charged in the days to come. george. >> okay, alex, thanks very much. we'll get the latest in the battle against zika. scientists hoping to use a new weapon, genetically modified mosquitoes to target insects that could spread the virus but that plan is raising concerns in the neighbor where they may be tested and abc's steve osunsami is on the scene in key west, florida. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, george. they're hot about this here. the families understand the effort to fight zika and other mosquito bourne diseases but they're dead set against using this neighborhood and their children in an experiment with genetically modified bugs.

just outside of key west families are angry at the cdc, the fad and the british company that hopes to release millions of genetically altered male mosquitoes in their backyards. >> we don't want to be lab rats. >> reporter: bred in this florida lab designed to kill off the mosquito that carries the zika virus, dengue fever and other harmful diseases. even the government admits it is a test. >> the male mates with the wild female and the offspring does not develop into an adult. it dies before adulthood. >> reporter: but the families say there's no plan if something goes wrong and if diseases start to spread, online their petition has more than 166,000 signatures. >> they're trying to jam this down our throat without our consent and that is just not right. >> reporter: the scientists behind this is a it's already working in other countries. >> i don't think people should be afraid of it. if anything, they should be more worried about things like

dengue, zika and chikungunya. >> our doctor visited a lab where they're saying it has been reduced. >> in two to four days after we release it, it will be dead. >> reporter: there is a similar battle of the minds in washington where a fight over controlling it continues and the white house wants nearly $1.9 billion to fight the disease. county officials have agreed to a vote in the fall but they're already saying it will be norn binding so the neighbors here are planning to sue. they're asking their many supporters this morning to approach the fda online, send messages and they're warning that your neighborhood could be next. robin. >> all right, steve, thank you. joining us abc news chief health and medical editor dr. richard besser, a lot of people concerned about that, of course, they're in key west. i was just there a few weeks vacationing. great people and you can understand their concerns and how safe are these types of mosquitoes.

>> yeah, so before they could be tested in florida, the fda had to evaluate them. they looked at data of all the places they have been tested and rule they're safe for the environment and for people. >> safe for the people and for the environment. so how effective are they against these disease spreading mosquitoes? >> yeah, you know, i saw this taking place in brazil and what they've seen every place this has been introduced is these type of mosquitoes, reduction of up to 90%. that's just dramatic, 90% fewer of these mosquitoes. >> what are the concerns about another type of mosquito being able to spread disease? >> whenever people hear the word gmo they're very frightened but this hasn't been seen in other places. they haven't seen other disease carrying mosquitoes come up and the diseases that they're trying to fight by doing this are really, really bad actors and so it's leading to new strategies that other times we might not have considered. >> overall what are you saying to people in key west and other areas where this play be happening? how do you align their concerns and fears.

>> go slow, be safe. but we need to try new thing. >> all right, all right, dr. b., thanks very much. george. we move on to that stunning discovery on our southern border. a drug tunnel stretching the length of nine football fields. it's a small hole hidden by gravel and wood. but underneath that massive tunnel equipped with lights, an elevator, even a ventilation system. matt gutman has a look. >> reporter: that engineering marvel started at this tijuana villa. it had a kiddie pool and birdbath. below ground a half-mile-long secret snaking to a san diego suburb. >> we believe this to be the longest to date. tunnel that we have discovered in this district. >> reporter: dug mostly with hand tools equipped with light, ventilation and this motorized freight elevator capable of carrying up to ten people. this gopro video from border agents shows the tunnel from the inside barely three feet wide

>> okay, there's the first attack. >> hmm, you think so? [ laughter ] you know, george, i am not going to be responding to all the crazy stuff he says. i think we're going to talk about what's going to be good for america, how we're going to make our country -- provide the potential and the promise that every person in this country should be able to take advantage of. that's what i'm going to keep talking about. that's what i've worked on. >> he's picking up the attacks of bernie sanders right there. your campaign has said that senator sanders was on a destructive path. is it time for him to get out of the race? >> that's up to him. that's up to him. you know, i would never tell anybody what to do. that has to be a very personal decision. but as i said, look, we have to come together as a country, and obviously primary campaigns, general election campaigns, there's going to be a lot of contrasts drawn. people are going to fight hard to get the votes to win. i totally buy that.

that's what we do, but let's not lose sight of what's really at stake here, and that is how we produce positive results for the american people and protect our country and keep us safe and unify our country, and i'm going to do my best to stay focused on those questions and provide answers so people can make their best judgments. >> you had a big victory, of course, here in your adopted home state. >> yes. >> on tuesday, and after that you were speaking in part to bernie's supporters, bernie sanders' supporters and said there's more that unites us than divides us. so how do you unite everyone? >> you know, robin, i think, first of all, there is a lot more that unites us. i know that we both, senator sanders and i, we want to tackle inequality. we want to raise the minimum wage. we want to make sure that people who are putting our economy at risk are reined in, regulated. no bank is too big to fail. no executive too powerful to jail. we share those views, so i

believe that once the nominating process has concluded, there is a great reason to come together, and i know something about this because as people remember, president obama and i ran a really tough race for the entire primary season, and he ended up with more delegates, and i withdrew. i endorsed him, and then i got to work and, remember, when i withdrew in june of 2008, polls were showing that at least 40% of my supporters said, oh, they weren't going to support senator obama. so i had to get to work, and i had to make the case. i nominated him at the convention. i went from group to group, even as late as the convention convincing people who were my delegates to come together, to unify, because what then senator obama and i had in common was much greater than our differences and so we were successful, thank goodness, and he was elected. so i'm hoping that the same thing will happen this time.

>> you guys are both also competing for superdelegates. we've got a superdelegate with a question for you. pennsylvania congressman brendan boyle. >> okay. >> madam secretary, as one of the youngest members of congress i've really been struck by how many voters in their 20s and 30s have been motivated and excited by bernie sanders. i was wondering what you would say to those voters as to why you're the best choice and what we can do even after this election to make sure these voters stay engaged. >> great question, congressman. thanks, you know, look, i think it's terrific that so many young people are part of this process, and i'm glad that i have a good base of support, and i'm glad so many young people are supporting senator sanders. they are involved. that has to be good news for the democratic party, good news for our country, and i have said to groups of sanders supporters that they may not support me now, i totally understand that, but i support them. i will always work in a way that keeps their futures in mind

because that's what i think you are supposed to do when you have responsibilities of public office, particularly being president, so what i'm going to do is keep talking about the agenda that i put forth, how to break down all the barriers that are holding back a lot of young people. they are burdened by student debt. they're not getting the kind of jobs they thought they would when they finished their education. there are not enough jobs in certain areas for young people. we've got to make sure that we lift up everybody, but i'm particularly focused on doing that when it comes to young people, and i think i'll make the case, and from everything i've seen both personal conversations and research that has been done, just as it was with me when i dropped out, you know, the vast majority of senator sanders' young supporters will look at the choice. the choice will be pretty stark if either of the two leading republican candidates become the nominee, and i'm confident that we'll all join together. >> well, thank you for answering our questions. you want to hear from the people.

it is about "your voice, your vote." and lara is with a voter now. >> i am. i'm with devin deford who is a student at morgan state in baltimore. you are currently a sanders supporter. let's see if secretary clinton can change that right now. what is your question, devin? >> good morning, secretary clinton. over the last couple days, maybe a couple weeks ago, you were calling for senator sanders to release his tax returns, which he did, and you were calling for more transparency, so in the sake of transparency and just being fair, are you going to release your wall street transcripts? >> well, that's a good question. it's a very fair question. and let me answer it this way, i have released 33 years of tax returns, and you can go to my website and see eight years, the last eight years of my tax returns. that is the standard that has been set for years, and senator sanders has said he will meet that standard, and i certainly hope that he will meet that standard. now there's a new request to release transcripts of speeches that have been given.

when everybody agrees to do that, i will, as well, because i think it's important we all abide by the same standards, so let's do the tax return standard first because that's been around for a really long time. >> and that's been your position for several weeks right now, but do you have any regrets about giving those speeches? >> no, i don't. no, you know, i like everybody who served as secretary of state have a unique perspective. that's why madeleine albright and colin powell and condi rice, when you leave the secretary of state office, people from all kinds of perspectives want to know what do you think is going on in the world? i think that's actually a useful conversation. so like all my predecessors, i gave speeches to a wide variety of groups, and it was, you know, predominantly about what's going on in the world. i probably was asked -- the most common question i was asked was to talk about the raid that went

after osama bin laden. i mean, people are really interested in what you see and what you understand about the world when you come out of that position. >> lara has got another question. >> i do, indeed, george. i'm here with william cobb from philadelphia, pennsylvania, one of the huge states up for grabs next week. he says currently undecided. possibly leaning towards sanders at the moment. what is your question for secretary clinton? >> secretary clinton, first of all, congratulations on your recent victory here in new york city. >> thank you. >> i served six years in prison for robbery, which is a violent crime. upon my release in 2000, i worked extremely hard to restore my life. it was extremely difficult, though, because of 44,000 collateral consequences, many resulting from the crime bill you previously supported. as a result, if you're elected president of the united states, how much money will you attach to efforts that are legislation

and efforts that are aimed at restoring the lives of the people in the communities that have been impacted adversely by the 1994 crime bill? >> well, that's also a very fair question. you know senator sanders voted for that bill, so we both supported the 1994 crime bill because of the intense concern in every community across our country with the uptick in violent crimes, and there were steps taken to try to address that. i've said, my husband has said that there were also problems with that, and we need to address those. you pose a very important question, because we have got to do more to help people who have paid their debt to society, they have done what you are describing, taken responsibility, now you're out. you're looking for a chance to rebuild your life, and my commitment to you is this, i will do everything i can, number

one, to divert more people away from the criminal justice system because too many people are in for low-level, nonviolent offenses. secondly, we have got to address the unequal effects of the criminal justice system on people of color, particularly african-american men, because it is just wrong, and it is a result of systemic racism. that young african-american men are arrested -- are arrested, charged, convicted and incarcerated at a much higher rate for doing the same things that young white men do. that's just a fact. it's a painful fact. so we've got to do more to intervene earlier, to help more young people. then on the other end when you're coming out of jail or prison, we have to have more second chance opportunities. among those are the following, we need to do what's called ban the box so that you're not immediately asked for your criminal record until you've had

a chance to compete, and i've been meeting with a lot of people who have had this experience that they don't even get to first base, so to speak, so we need to do what some states are doing at the federal level. secondly, we need a lot more support for people who are coming out, job training, education, housing, the kinds of community supports that will enable you to really get your life back on track and to make a contribution. thirdly, once you've paid your debt to society, your voting rights should be returned immediately. that is an absolute requirement to what we have to do. [ applause ] and so i've made it a personal mission to visit programs that are doing what i want to see done in more places, and i'm encouraged. there's some excellent programs around the country that are doing exactly what you ask be done, and i want the federal government to support those more. >> thank you for your response. >> thank you. >> all right, thank you for your

question. [ applause ] we're going to get to more questions and also social media. we're reaching out to them and they'll be asking some question, as well. but right now let's get a check of the weather with rob. >> of course, outside we have a slew of hillary clinton supporters. this is alex who is 17 now. when do you turn 18? >> may 2nd. two weeks. >> and you can't wait to vote. you're from new jersey, so that's going to happen. >> yes, new jersey is a very important primary. we're coming out and showing our support. excitement and energy is all that we' >> good thursday morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco with the bay area forecast. cooler today, less sunshine, and sprinkled across the north bay and rain tomorrow, and showers tomorrow afternoon, and saturday and sunday, dry, but breezy. today, 70s in the south bay and mid-to-upper 60s for the rest of us and light-to-moderate rain in the north bay overnight, and videoing south during the

abc7.com. join us weekdays 4:30 until welcome back to times square, "gma," our town hall with hillary clinton live here in times square. all across the country answering your questions as we come to such a critical point. what i appreciate even during the commercial break you're engaging people. an opportunity for them to have a conversation with you and you're taking full advantage of that. >> well, that's what i like most about being in politics and public life is really learning from people and having a chance to talk about how we solve problems. it's just not enough to diagnose the problem. you got figure out how you're going to solve the problem. >> next big contest, pennsylvania, cecilia vega is there. >> great. >> the primary is on tuesday, 189 delegates up for grabs. you're in honey eat and sit diner. what do you got? >> well, i'll tell you, the food

looks really good here. good morning, madam secretary. i'm here with kim klayman. she is a 27-year-old business and finance attorney. she is a supporter of yours and she's got a question for you this morning. >> good morning, secretary clinton. i'm a registered democrat and i support you, however, i have a 20-year-old brother who says that he supports bernie because he doesn't trust you. what would you say to change his mind? >> well, first of all, thank you for supporting me and here's what i would like to say to your brother or to anyone who has that concern. look, i work really hard to do whatever job i'm given to do and i know i'm not a natural politician and i know that it sometimes is more difficult to navigate through the politics and the campaign than i wish it were but when i have a job like being senator from new york,

being secretary of state, people really count on me and i do my very best to deliver for them. i ran that hard campaign against senator obama. we finished. he turned around. he trusted me enough to be his secretary of state. i served for eight years as a senator from new york. the people here trusted me. they voted for me twice and then again in the primary, so i think it's a difference between the give and take of politics, because for whatever reason i do attract a lot of attacks and i understand that and actually doing the job because when i'm here today, this is like a giant job interview. you all and everybody watching is trying to say, okay, who should be the president to help me, my family protect our country, get us on the right track, so i just think the best way for me to answer that is just to keep doing what i'm doing which is to talk about what i have done and what i will

do and hopefully win over your younger brother. >> you said you've attracted these attacks for a long time and you're still trying to figure out why. you do have a problem going forward with the polls, majority of americans say they don't trust you. what is behind it? >> george, i don't know other than the fact that for 25 years, you know, when i worked on health care, as you well remember, i was subjected to an enormous wave of attacks and it hasn't stopped. and i think it's quite a tribute to, first, the people in new york and now here in the united states who kind of see through that. but i'm not saying it doesn't affect how people think. >> is there anything more you can do to address it. >> i try to. when i have a job the republicans actually say nice things about me and what a good job i do and then as soon as i move toward being in an election, all bets are off and, you know, i'm attacked left and right. so, i think there is, i'm sure,

more than i can do and i'm just going to do my best to break through that. >> amy has a question on social media. >> we have nora miller from san francisco, another big state coming up and she sent us this video question on facebook. >> good morning, secretary clinton. my name is nora, i am retired. my question is, what is your greatest political regret? thank you. >> well, i guess my greatest regret was voting to give president bush authority in iraq. it did not turn out the way that i had thought it would based on what he had said and i regret that and i've said it was a mistake and obviously it's something that, you know, i wish hadn't turned out the way it did. >> and now lara, you have another question. >> madam secretary with evan nison. he is leaning towards senator sanders but has a question for you. >> i'm the youngest member of

the board of normal, the national organization for the reform of marijuana laws and for sense drug policy. i know you said in the past you'd respect the will of the voters but i want to know if marijuana legalization was on the ballot you'd vote yes or no. >> i think i would have to study that more to see how it was phrased because it's been phrased differently in different states but i will tell you what i will do as president. i've said i want to move marijuana off of schedule one which you understand means that you can't do any research about it. you can't do anything and i think that's wrong. we have enough anecdotal evidence as you well know being a member of the normal board about what marijuana can do for medical conditions, easing pain, and we need to be doing research on it because i am 100% in favor of medical uses for marijuana but i want to know what the evidence is. i'm also someone who believes that the states can be those laboratories of democracy, so

i'm watching carefully what's happening in the states that have legalized it to learn from them so we can base the best policy on that. >> what if it was a similar industry to colorado's right now, a similar situation to -- >> i'm going to wait and see what we learn from what's happening in colorado and the other states that have gone the whole route toward absolute legalization and i'm also watching the many other states that have done medical marijuana referenda or laws because in the medical arena, if you're taking several different medications and you put marijuana on top of that we need to know what's the interaction? what's the effects? what are the best uses and so let's be really smart about this and acquire the evidence and then make the best decisions. >> did she answer your question? great. i love this follow-up. i love when they have their own follow-up like that. [ laughter ] another social question. >> from california.

georgette as a question about women and pay gap. >> my daughter is entering the workforce, it's 2016 and we still have a pay gap. how do you plan to address it and/or attack it? >> well, you're 100% right because there still is a pay gap. it's 2016 and we're still facing the reality that women are not paid equally to men. and this is not just a woman's issue. this is a family issue and an economic issue. if you have a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, you are being cheated because if you don't get equal pay, then that affects your whole family income. so here is what i want to do. we have laws on the books. you're supposed to be paid equally. they're very hard to enforce. why? because we also have laws that permit people who try to find out whether they're being paid equally for doing the same job as a male counterpart, they can be fired or retaliated against on the job for trying to get that information.

so, first and foremost, we should pass the paycheck fairness act which i co-sponsored, sponsored, spoke for all during the time i was in the senate and we should also work to demand more transparency from businesses, because when they are willing to be transparent, they often find that they have some problems. i'll give you a quick example. sales force which is a huge tech company in california, i give the ceo president mark benioff a big shoutout. he was challenged. do you know whether you pay people the same? he said, well, i'm sure we do but went the next step and said let's find out for sure. again, let's look at the evidence. let's not just think about what we hope is the case. he looked at the evidence and he discovered it wasn't true that he had people in the same jobs with the same experience, the same kind of performance reviews and women were not being paid the same. so, i think this is an area that

we have to tackle. now, young women usually start off much closer in parity then as you get up the ranks, more and more disparities occur. and so we've got work to do at all levels and, you know, one of my favorite questions during this whole campaign was in nevada. i was at a town hall and i called on a young girl and she stood up and she said, if you're the girl president, will you get paid the same as the boy president? [ laughter ] and you know i literally had to stop for a minute and i think that's one job where you know what the pay is. i think so. [ applause ] >> a lot more questions coming up. we have to go outside to rob for more weather. >> great crowd out here. beautiful day although the dry weather has created a bit of a problem in the northeast. fires breaking out in injure a and this one in pennsylvania, low levels of humidity and breezy conditions will get a break from that with a little bit of rainfall coming about lunch to rush hour time tomorrow afternoon.

not a whole lot but it will certainly moisten things up a little bit. another rain shower coming into the northwest and rain as cross texa >> good morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco. we will be lloydy and schooler with 60s at coast in the north bay with sprinkles and 70s for the rest of us. my seven-day forecast shows light-to-moderate rain during the commute >> this weather report is brought to you by nationwide. george and robin, back inside. >> we have a lot more coming up. our town hall with hillary clinton and find out what she thinks about all those famous "snl" impressions. [ applause ] >> rough night? >> yeah, you could say that. whoo. hi, i'm hillary rodham clinton. >> hey, great name. i'm val.

the new york city subway is the best way to get around. ow. i guess it's been a while. is this a working metro card?

is it? i'll just go in the old-fashioned way. [ laughter and applause ] >> impressions of hillary clinton. so it turns out there have been six "snl" cast members who have played you. >> six? wow. since you were first lady if we'll take a look at some of them. >> obviously if bill were ever incapacitated i would assume the presidency. >> the old hillary was rigid and awkwa awkward. the new hillary is loose and easy. going. >> and now a message from secretary of state designate hillary clinton. >> you thought i was gone, didn't you? >> i cannot wait to be your next president if i'm elected, of course, not getting ahead of myself in public. in private i've been president for 15 years. >> okay.

i know you don't like to play favorites but who comes closest to the real hillary. >> oh, my gosh, they all have little bits and pieces. and, you know, i probably laugh as much as anybody because there's always a little truth in it, i hate to confess. and it is kind of like watching an archaeological dig to see my different hairstyles emerging. that's the 1998 version. that's the 2003 version. look, i'm not going to pick favors because they are all terrific. actually that first bit about going through the subway, probably more people in new york talked about -- my metro card didn't work either. i can't believe it. i can't believe it. you had one that didn't work either. i think i got more votes from people who were frustrated with their metro card and that i was connected to them somehow, right? >> turn back the tokens. but it's obvious you're a very good sport about this and you

alluded to it a little bit that you actually can learn a little bit about yourself, watching this. >> look, i have to say, you know, as i said earlier i'm not a natural politician i'm not the gregarious kind of affable person. i point to my husband and barack obama who are just unbelievably charismatic and effective. i like to do the work. i mean i am the person who likes to get things done and get everybody together to try to work that out and actually that's exciting for me but it doesn't make good tv. it's sort of a little bit slow and boring and so i get a lot of, you know, good feedback because i remember i was with amy poehler one time and i was on the show with her and she went into this absolutely -- this bout of hysterical laughing playing me and i said, really?

it's that much? so, yeah, i've learned a lot watching and i had so much fun playing val the bartender when i was on a few months ago and i don't know. val may be back. you know, yeah, val may be back. [ applause ] >> you know, speaking of back, this is throwback thursday and we went into the "gma" vault and found your first appearance here on "good morning america." >> oh, my gosh. >> in 1988. >> 1988. >> yes, when you were speaking out about your lawyer and talking about equality and such. you talked to charlie gibson. here it is. >> oh, my gosh. >> i want to go to the nature of that evidence. does it show that there is systemically in the legal profession prejudice? >> well, i don't know if you can say that it's systemic. i think what you could say is that it is still prevalent. it may not happen to every woman lawyer every day but somewhere it happens.

>> oh, my goodness. see what i mean about hairstyles. to say nothing of hair color. >> for as long as we can remember seeing you in the spotlight you have been fighting for others. >> that is what i believe in. i believe -- you know, i think it's a great gift if you can somehow define what you believe your purpose to be and maybe it's because my mom had such a terrible childhood and was so abused and mistreated and neglected and out on her by the age of 14 that she really instilled in me that you had to get up every day no matter what happened to you the day before and you'd have a better day if you figured out some way to help somebody and i just -- i just felt like she was absolutely a living example of that, not being bitter, but being resilient and so, yes, i mean, that is a clip from, you know, working on pay inequality and other barriers standing in the way of women lawyers, i was

chairing a commission for the american bar association back then and in this campaign, my main message is i want to break down all the barriers that tan in the way of people getting ahead. and, yes, there are economic barriers that we have to tackle. no doubt about it. i share that with senator sanders. we've got to raise the minimum wage. beef to get equal pay and so much more but there are other barriers, there are education barrier, every child deserves a good teacher and a good school every single year regardless of the zip code that child lives in. there are still health care barriers and there are barriers of discrimination that stalk people because of who they are, what they look like, who they love. so what we have to do is knock down all those barriers because by doing that we not only give individuals a chance to really make the most out of their own lives, we really do more to get america to realize its potential. >> we have to take one more quick break. [ applause ]

coffee chat with hillary clinton continues in the time remaining we want to get as many questions as possible. rod, you have a question. >> you and i have something in common. we both put hot sauce on everything. >> yes. >> i have to ask you srirachsri tabasco or what? >> i have a collection that includes all of those and many more. and i started -- i mean i've always liked hot sauce, hot foods but started using hot sauce on nearly everything back in '92 because i read an article that it would help my immune system to stay healthy during that '92 campaign. now, i have continued doing it almost religiously and so far so good, so that's all i can tell you. we do have that in common. >> christina gonzalez. >> my question for you is what would you say is bill's most annoying habit?

>> what? >> what would you say is bill's pose annoying habit. >> oh, my gosh, where do we start? how long do we have? let's see. >> ooh. >> okay, if you don't tell anybody -- [ laughter ] -- he no matter how tired he is he always feels like he has to read before he falls asleep. so he used to have the light on. >> you'll get saved by the bell here. we're out of time. >> he always falls asleep so that means i have to get up, go around and turn the light off on the other side of the bed.
